Block Bad Words
The Explanation
This function is like your super-strict, no-nonsense grandma who doesn’t want you using any naughty words. Let’s see what each part does:
The Function Definition:
This is the entrance to the grandma’s house. You give her a string of words, and she’s ready to clean it up.
Blocked Words List:
Here’s grandma’s blacklist of words you definitely shouldn’t be saying. These are the words she wants to catch.
The Magic Filter:
This is grandma’s secret sauce—a filter that looks for any of the bad words surrounded by word boundaries (\b
), numbers, or underscores. It’s like having a super-sensitive radar that can spot bad words in any form.
The Sensor:
This is grandma’s solution: whenever she finds a bad word, she replaces it with stars. It’s like putting a bar of soap in your mouth, but less gross.
Cleansing the Words:
Grandma applies her filter to the words you gave her. Any bad words she finds get scrubbed out with her sensor stars.
Return the Clean Version:
Finally, she hands back the cleaned-up version of your sentence, free from any naughty words. You can go back to your friends and use it without getting a scolding!
In Summary
This function bbw
(maybe it stands for “Better Beep Words”?) takes a string, checks it for any bad words from a predefined list, and replaces those words with ***
. It’s like having an automatic censor that ensures your language stays clean and grandma-approved.
Check Provider By Phone Number
The Explanation

The Investigation
Here, our detective uses each wanted poster (regular expression) to check if the provided phone number matches any of them. If a match is found, the detective concludes that the number belongs to the corresponding provider.
In Summary
This function check_provider
is like a detective with a bunch of wanted posters, trying to match a given phone number to a specific phone provider. It’s a fun way to determine who’s behind a phone number!
